FAIR QUESTION

Google Ads brings in money because there is endless supply... but does that supply have extra benefits to the users? With peak promotions we have Hive Users creating Hive Specific Content and carefully placing it on Hive where they desire in a pretty decentralized bidding system that can be unique to every single topic page and community out there. A sort of independent market for each page.
Plus content stays on Hive itself and is usually related to hive.
Also it gives utility to HIVE TOKENS buy providing people something they can buy directly with Hive.

It's not that we're against Google Ads... just can't see how they'd bring extra value to PeakD or worse case degrade the content experience while not really bringing in great revenue anyway.

And one extra benefit is that this promotions system is DECENTRALIZED and can be coordinated with other interfaces if they want to jump in.


If the future brings here a lot of people, maybe there will be a time to reconsider this. You could use the Google Ads "new money"to fund peakd while burning HIVE tokens at the same way helping with the sell pressure.I fully agree at your points. thank you very much for the explanation @jarvie!

Cheers!
